(For those who aren't familiar with American cars, this is a Chevrolet Corvette. In other words … it's a Chevy. I am SO sorry. I could not resist the pun.)

I don't know if Chevalier will ever rise to a "favorite" of mine (if I had a nickel for every time he laughed dismissively, I'd be able to buy myself some fancy coffee), but I've come to the conclusion that it's actually his MC that drives me up the metaphorical wall. SPOILERRSSSS AHEAD if anyone still cares about that.

(minor not very important spoilers for Sariel)

My first route was Clavis. He's actually the reason I started Ikepri, and I liked him much more than I thought I would - I tore through that storyline twice like nobody's business! In other words, he set a pretty dang high standard.

Next, there was Chevalier. Gotta understand Chevalier to understand Clavis, right? I got through both runs in decent time, though occasionally Chev's MC over-otomed me, and I would have to take a recovery break to handle my alarmingly berserk blood pressure.

I read one of Leon's routes after that, and he seemed like a cool dude. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do both, though, so I tried Yves. He is baby.

I next landed on Sariel's route. It had just been released, after all, plus he's purple and wears glasses for extra cool points. It didn't seem to be going much of anywhere for me at the start, but hey, you never know! It could ramp up!

Then I got to the first hint of romance, and ...

My feelings about Chevalier after playing Clavis' romantic route:

Me: Why do people love this guy? What am I missing? I guess I should read his route. It'll definitely portray him in a more sympathetic light since it's about him, so maybe I'll like him more.

Me after reading 15 or so parts of Chev's route: I think things got worse ...

It's not the carnage nor the coldness. I just can't stand it when people who are too intelligent for their own good will say what they mean in the worst possible way all the time because there's no WAY anyone who isn't an idiot could interpret it in a different manner, and the misinterpretation is obviously that other person's fault. (And usually, he - it's almost always a he - can't be assed to change or try harder, whether that's due to "efficiency" or because you should've been able to understand in the first place and therefore you are in the wrong.)

THIS IS BASICALLY CHEVALIER'S DEFAULT MODE.

But this is otome. So he's gotta be a little better than that by the end, right? ... right?

I guess I’ll tag some people now (you definitely don’t have to respond to this if you don’t want to, unless you’re Mia, then you have to do this....AGAIN).

If Voltage overseas cannot afford to update that many apps, they should stop releasing new ones and focus their efforts on what is out there already. By releasing stories and stopping midway, they are losing the faith of their fans because we don’t know if we want to invest our time and money on something that will never reach a conclusion. I am definitely in that category. 

But at the same time I understand how voltage overseas is also sort of “throwing baits” to see what app catches the crowd’s interest. 

It’s really a chicken and egg situation isn’t it? Personally I am not going to bite any new bait if the old ones don’t keep coming. 

I wished Voltage overseas would not give us, the fans, that kind of ultimatum: choose one app that would kill the hope for others. If you have the budget to update one story a month from these “dead” apps, then you should take turns, and give each app a chance. See it as “fan service”, if you want to keep your loyal following and our interest in your business.
